I'm so sick of this shit.... It's Toxic, it's Toxic. It's toxic. It's football and now it's sensitive as hell. You can't even raise your voice.

This is a total NOTHING of a story. What a joke. Some have it in for Fleck due to jealousy since he does a great job coaching and is very positive.

Crazy thing is that Fleck still hasn’t lost a bowl game at Minnesota. 4-0 bowl game record is actually pretty impressive.

It sounds like little whiny crybabies as usual. P J Fleck has always ran a clean program

I am NOT a Minnesota fan but a lot of former players are coming out in support of the Coach and his philosophy

Yeah Fleck is a quirky guy, but I've never seen him as a bully or someone who would tolerate a toxic culture. Not a Minnesota fan either, but I knew about #RowTheBoat, the tragedy of his newborn son's death and how he used it to establish his coaching philosophy. The Gophers' program isn't for everyone, but Fleck seems like a solid dude who cares about his players graduating and becoming quality people.

Right. 50 year old me is not a fan of the excessive sloganeering, and I'm sure it is annoying. Players know that going in, Fleck advertises himself as "not for everyone". And I seriously doubt that a HC alone has the power to waive away a positive drug test. I would think that is reported to the AD and possibly the NCAA, with nothing much the HC can do about it. If it is true that a HC alone can cover up a positive drug test, that is a problem. But I can't believe that is the way things work.

The use of Toradol was looked into by the Husch Blackwell firm, and the Gophers' medical staff was exonerated.

This got blown off pretty quickly here. I heard about a couple weeks back but nothing since. Unless something else big comes up nothing will come of it.

He’s a great coach. He ain’t going anywhere.

Met Coach a few times in coaches clinics and RTB was the mantra! Cult, yes what program that's top notch isn't a cult like atmosphere! Hope this gets cleared up and resolved! He's a great program changer and recruiter

The Big Ten where morals come to die well except for Michigan that’s tons of bullshit.

Cowardly anonymous former players haven't the guts to go on the record. Previously investigated and dismissed by an independent inquiry. Nothing to see here.

Nice video Scott. The allegations don't sound to bad as long as player health protection was upheld. What is troubling is the idea he has to reload the entire skill areas in one season. Good luck with that lol.

Joe Rossi will just take over if they should do something with Fleck. So either way we will have a good coach to take over but I hope nothing does happen. People just want to mess up the program. Just saying. Go Gophers!!

Give me a break. First Fitz now this.

Once programs that are mediocre at best, finally get a taste of winning and all that comes with it, will figure out how to return to their mediocre ways.

It’s always former players never current ones who make these allegations

It’s a nothing burger article. This is nothing and nothing will happen to PJ. This video is clickbait, just like the article.

Toradol is an NSAID. same class as ibuprofen. Not illegal. Anti-inflammatory and pain reducer. Prescription required currently. Likely over the counter some day. That aside, he may have crossed ethical lines on some of the other instances. But toradol is benign. Oh and I-L-L…

you took the bait....again for the 4th year in a row! Thanks for being click bait!

I like PJ

There are a LOT of angry, disgruntled former players and coaches in college and pro football. If someone comes forward with allegations they should be able to back them up. Maybe an investigation is due but to suspend or reprimand a coach on the word of a former player is nuts. I bet every major college program breaks the rules in some area (especially hazing type stuff). There’s a small difference between bullying and being hard on a kid to get the most out of him.

That’s certainly a good question to ask right now. Iowa with gambling in May. Northwestern and Fitzgerald fired with hazing in July. Michigan and Harbaugh with a recruiting violation in July. And now Minnesota and Fleck with some different types of allegations in July. Obviously the gambling for Iowa, and hazing for Northwestern are serious, but the NCAA overreacted for the 4 game suspension for Harbaugh, and this entire Fleck situation seems really off. I don’t believe Fleck would tolerate this behavior within his program.

Doncha just love BS "journalism" like this ?

the world and football used to be tough......nowadays it is not tough.........lot o soft people in football now...........too bad...........

So a hit piece with anonymous sources of recycled false allegations and disinformation drops the day before Big Ten media days. I get that Fleck rubs some people the wrong way with all the sloganeering. That's fine, if you don't like Fleck, go somewhere else. Reporters need to go talk to all the players who have been volunteering to talk on the record.

I hope this isn’t true because I really like PJ Fleck and I think he can bring Minnesota a lot of success. He has brought in an incredible RB from Western Michigan is Sean Tyler who had back to back 1,000 yard seasons. Kaliakmanis is an ok QB but he could take a huge jump and had duel threat ability

Players sometimes just don't get along with a coach, or are bitter because of a lack of playing time. The lack of balance of the Front Office Sports story makes it seem like a hit piece. Why didn't they interview more current and former players instead of just a few embittered ones who won't real their identities? The allegations are unsubstantiated. It's just an embittered few people who are saying this, so I don't think there is any merit at all.

not his first time!

Nice story clown boy 🤡

I find the toxic culture and shit like that very hard to believe personally. He seems like he has one of the best coach-player bonds with his players in the whole ncaa. Those guys would run thru a wall for him and he’s had a lot of guys transfer and commit to Minnesota just to get a chance to play for him. Like 10 eastern Michigan players left to go to Minnesota when pj got the job if that doesn’t say something about the relationship he has with his players. He also turned the gophers from absolute bottom feeders to a team that wins 9-10 games a year and finished as one of the best teams in the second hardest conference in college football and has a statistically top 3 defense in the whole nation. Say what u want about his methods but u can’t say they haven’t been extremely effective
